Six Cities and Counties in Jirisan Area Staff Introduce Tourist Attractions Wearing Hanbok

[Namwon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Young-kwon] On the 6th, it was announced that six cities and counties in the Jirisan area will produce a video introducing the beautiful tourist attractions along the foothills of Jirisan in spring, featuring hanbok, and will broadcast it through their official SNS channels.

This video was planned and produced by the Jirisan Tourism Development Association (Head Lee Jae-wook), and instead of famous celebrities, employees working in the six cities and counties of the Jirisan area appeared directly.

Also, wearing hanbok, they introduce representative traditional cultural tourist sites of each city and county in the form of entertaining performances.

Jirisan is a sacred mountain that has witnessed the rise and fall of history spanning half a millennium, and therefore it holds many traditional cultural heritages.

The sites introduced in this video?Namwon Myeongchang’s journey, Jangsu Nonggae Shrine, Gurye Cheoneunsa Temple, Hadong Choi Champan’s House, Sancheong Namsa Yedam Village, and Hamyang Namgye Seowon?are representative tourist destinations in the Jirisan area encompassing our spiritual culture of loyalty and filial piety, as well as cultural heritages such as pansori and religion.

The Jirisan area has historically been a community of shared fate with common pain.

During the Three Kingdoms period, it was a battleground located on the border between Baekje and Silla, sometimes an enemy territory, sometimes part of the same country.

In modern times, amid political conflicts known as regionalism, it was divided into Yeongnam and Honam, causing emotional distances far greater than geographical ones.

However, despite such pain, even now many people in the six cities and counties bear their regional names as their surnames, and although the intonations differ, they speak the same dialect like ‘Hameun,’ showing that the sense of community based on marriage and life has been continuously passed down.

The beauty of hanbok can be felt as elegance and grace realized through clothing that embodies the generosity, leisure, and tolerance that come from abundance.

Lee Jae-wook, head of the Jirisan Tourism Development Association, said, “In the process of promoting the Jirisan Special Autonomous Region, overcoming regional conflicts and regional selfishness is of utmost importance,” adding, “Learning the aesthetics of hanbok’s leisure and tolerance through this video, especially with the direct participation of employees from the six cities and counties who are the main promoters, holds great significance.”

The video can be viewed from the 7th on the Jirisan Tourism Development Association’s official SNS channel, Jirisan Dulre Bogo, via YouTube.
